Revealing Secrets

Gray and I had the day off so we decided to spend it together. After we’d shopped at the local boutiques, she reluctantly agreed to eating lunch at a sushi restaurant.

“My mother and I ate here when I was in for Thanksgiving,” I said looking over my shoulder while I completed my parallel park.

“You came to Yama with your mama!” she laughed pointing out the name of the restaurant on the sign above us.

Yama Sushi.

“You’re an idiot,” I said. “This place is amazing!”

“Yeah, if you like sushi!” she said putting on her lipstick. “Which, like I told you, I do but I don’t.”

I laughed watching her pop her bright lips together.

“What does that even mean?” I asked stealing the silver tube from her hand.

“You know . . . like being kind of a virgin: you are but you’re not at the same time.”

“You’ve totally lost me now!”

Her pale skin flushed pink instantly.

“I mean, sushi is like sex for me. I’ve tried some sushi things and I like it!” She leaned her thin body into mine. “I like it a lot!”

I rolled my eyes in laughter and gently pushed her away.

“But I haven’t tried the entire menu yet. And I’ve tried some, you know, things . . . with guys . . . but I haven’t gone all the way yet.”

She leaned into me again. “I’m so hoping that will change very soon.”

Joe.

My heart felt like a heavy rock in my chest.

“I definitely want to sleep with Joe.”

I thought about his words to me last night.

“Why?”

It was a stupid question. Even before she gave the baffled look I knew my question was ridiculous as soon as I asked her. The reasons were obvious.

“I mean, why wouldn’t I? He’s totally hot and I bet he’s really great in bed. Wild and fucking untamed!”

I couldn’t disagree with her on any of her points. I’d thought the same things. Wild and untamed. Seemed like that would be his style. I could also see where he might be passionate and loving, too. I didn’t want to think about her with Joe. I didn’t want her to know that.

“Yeah, Gray, I’m not sure Joe is the one you should want to taste your sushi first. He doesn’t remind me of the type of guy who would come back for seconds, if you know what I mean.”

“Who cares!” She laughed. “One time is all I want.”

She put her hands up and waved them quickly like fans.

“Okay, that’s not true. I want lots and lots of times!”

I forced myself to laugh as we walked into the restaurant. My thoughts of him were tripping over each other. I thought he wanted nothing to do with me, but after last night I was beginning to think maybe he just didn’t want Justin to have anything to do with me. The more I thought about him—and the way he treated me when we were alone—the more that felt real to me. He was being honest in those moments. Wasn’t he?

I didn’t know.
